Igor Zinoviev made a name for himself at Extreme Fighting 1 when he defeated Mario Sperry. Zinoviev went on to Fight Frank Sgamrock for a world title and quietly disappeared from the world of combat sports. The low profile Zinoviev has had a lot of questions in regards to his training, background and what he has done since leaving the sport.

All respect to Mike Overmyer who has passed away.

Gary Goodridge is a Canadian MMA pioneer who was diagnosed with CTE back in 2012. We didn´t know what to expect in this one but Gary took to the LytesOut format right away. Gary acknowledges his CTE but he is not letting it get him down and he comes across very upbeat and not bitter at all.
Gary also reveals he is looking to bring MMA to Kenya and has a date of December 10th in the works for Nairobi.
A HUGE thank you to special guest Tom Erikson, who sits in to assist the LytesOut crew, so you get "Big Daddy" with "The Big Cat." Glad this was an interview and not a tag team match!

#VladimirMatyusneko #Wrestling #MMA Vladimir Matyushenko Career DEEPDIVE (ep. 113)
Vladimir Matyushenko was part of the "Real American Wrestlers" (RAW Team) in the early days. His story starts with his defection to the United States after a wrestling meet where he defeated the legendary David Schultz. Once in the USA, it was his rivals in the wrestling community that took him in and led him to the world of fighting and MMA.
We avoid politics and war talk, and the results are many of us are getting to know a real life superhero for the first time. Thank you Vlad for all the stories and the honesty.

#SteveNelson #MMAPioneer #TexasShootfighting Steve Nelson - MMA Pioneer Career DEEPDIVE
Back in the late 1990's Texas was a hotbed for "Shootfighting" and that was because of one man - MMA Pioneer Steve Nelson. An Oklahoma State wrestler, Nelson comes from a family of professional wrestlers and his USWF promotion operating out of Amrillo ws at one point a bigger attraction than the UFC. Though he went 0-2 against the legendary Ralph Gracie, Nelson was at the forefront of the Wrestling vs BJJ rivalry and he was a pioneer of the lower weight classes back when the UFC was basically a heavyweight show. Meet Steve Nelson - a humble, lifelong martial artist who should not be forgotten.
